Happy Easter to some special Peeps

Naked Peeps...I don't know there's just something wrong with naked peeps....

Dip your peeps in melted white chocolate and sprinkle with a rainbow of Easter colors.

Mount your properly clothed peeps on a skewer and arrange them in a vase filled with jelly beans.....

Vera Wang stationary and wrapping paper

There was a day when people ran to the mailbox with hope in their hearts anxious for news from loved ones far away. My Grandma Helen wrote to her sister weekly. She saved all of the touching letters she received from my Grandfather while he was away. What a treasure. I still have sweet notes written by those I love. The written word is so powerful. A well written note on quality paper asks to be saved. I found these beauties marked down considerably on ONE KINGS LANE today. Click on the link and sign in!!!

Thoughts of late have turned to what to wear...hmmmmm. I could wear the traditional suit. (above).....or

If I were Stevie Nicks......I could add some scarves......belt out "landslide" or

Yes, its true this is a google image for MOB...PROMMMMM....AHHHHHHHHH

Please notice the use of coats. You'll understand it when you get MOB arms.

VERA WANG WHITE FOR DAVIDS BRIDAL

This is so pretty and classic. Reminiscent of our beautiful first lady Jackie Kennedy. By the way is affordable at $1300.00. Silk organza over satin. Lovely. I'd adore it tea length. You can change out the sash to one that matches the dress--which is available at David's bridal too!
